WickaNimmo - A Luxury Package at the Wickaninnish Inn and Nimmo Bay Resort

April, 2010

This year, two iconic West Coast resorts join forces - and names - to show that, indeed, one can "have it all" in a vacation. The WickaNimmo luxury wilderness vacation package is the pinnacle of the guest experience offered at the iconic Wickaninnish Inn in Tofino and the legendary Nimmo Bay Resort.

This six-night getaway aims to give discriminating travelers a taste of the very best of coastal BC, without having to choose between exclusive wilderness adventures and the shared experience of imaginative hospitality. The adventure starts with a private Jet Ranger or A-Star helicopter hop from Port Hardy to the Nimmo Bay Resort, tucked into a picturesque inlet off the Broughton Archipelago. Cozy accommodations in an inter-tidal chalet are complemented by the Murray family's warm welcome, fresh creative cuisine in the floating lodge, waterfall hot tubs, and a host of amenities. Following a blissful night's sleep on the perfect pillow, once-in-a-lifetime adventures for those from age eight to eighty are just moments away. A magic carpet ride - a private helicopter - is at guests' disposal throughout these three days for activities that range from fly fishing rivers teaming with salmon, heli-hiking remote, lush alpine meadows, or white water rafting with expert guides. A secret, white sand beach awaits for a picnic lunch. Perhaps an afternoon of following Killer Whales in the Johnstone Straight and listening in by hydrophone is in store. At day's end, a wild and wonderful pied-à-terre greets adventurers with convivial entertainment by the floating fire pit or cherished, quiet time together in pristine wilderness.

On day four, a helicopter transports guests westbound across the spectacular scenery of Vancouver Island to their retreat on Tofino's Chesterman Beach, the Wickaninnish Inn. Guests on this exclusive package will stay three nights in a spacious Chesterman Beach Loft Suite, boasting picture windows with generous beach, ocean, and old-growth forest views, custom-created furnishings, and loft bedroom with ensuite bath and double soaker tub, with even more views! Included in this getaway is a private tour of the Inn's captivating collection of local art, and an accompanied visit to meet the artisans, creating one-of-a-kind pieces, at the inspiring carving shed. On this package, guests will savour The Pointe Restaurant's locally-sourced cuisine with sommelier-selected pairings - and the magic ingredient of 240 degree views of the open Pacific Ocean. Two aromatic massages at Ancient Cedars Spa are a fitting reward after a walk on the 1.8 miles/3 kilometres of Chesterman Beach or a classic Beach Cruiser bicycle ride to eclectic Tofino.

The WickaNimmo six-night luxury wilderness vacation package starts at $27,400.00 CAD, based on double occupancy, and is available for a group of up to six adventure-seeking, luxury-loving guests. This rate is exclusive of taxes and gratuities. Find details of this getaway at http://www.nimmobay.wickinn.com.
